Step 1
Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Beat 3 egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon the meringue into 4 mounds on the prepared sheet, making a well in each center. Bake until dry and crisp, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off oven and let cool inside for 1 hour.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, warm 1/4 cup berry jam with 1 tbsp lemon juice over low heat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 5
Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Place each meringue on a plate. Fill the wells with whipped cream and top with 2 cups mixed berries. Drizzle with the berry sauce and serve immediately.
